### 30.7 Specifying text colors

You can specify colors for both character and paragraph formats. Text color is set in the CSS, and also in the <font> tags, if you leave them enabled.

If you want certain paragraph or character formats to have colors, you can do the following:

1. Identify the color you want (or define a new color) by number, and assign to it a hexadecimal color value:

       [Colors]
       nnn = ffffff

2. Assign the color, by number, to the paragraph or character format:

       [HtmlStyles]
       ; Color1 - Color254 color text as defined in Frame and [Colors]
       ; NoColor suppresses use of the <font color=...> in the style.
       Fmtname = Colornnn

For example:

    [Colors]
    ; Major headings should be blue:
    102 = 0000ff
    ; Cautionary notes should be red:
    99 = ff0033

    [HtmlStyles]
    Heading1 = Color102
    Caution = Color99
    Sidetip = NoColor
